Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Due to the V-shaped configuration and the age of the vehicle, gaskets and seals may wear out, leading to oil leaks.

Overheating

The compact design of the engine bay in a sports car like the 2004 Acura NSX can lead to cooling system inefficiencies, potentially causing the engine to overheat.

Misfiring cylinders

With six cylinders, issues with ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors can lead to misfires and reduced performance.

Timing belt issues

Given the age of the car, the timing belt could be worn or due for replacement, which is critical to prevent engine damage.

Fuel system problems

Older fuel systems can accumulate debris or suffer from failing fuel pumps, leading to inconsistent fuel delivery and performance issues.

Valve train wear

With a V-shaped engine, the valve train can experience wear over time, potentially leading to issues like valve ticking or reduced engine efficiency.

Cooling system failures

Components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat may fail over time, especially in a high-performance vehicle.

Sensor failures

Aging sensors, such as oxygen sensors or the mass airflow sensor, can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixtures and poor engine performance.
